Fonda may now have to don steel-rimmed glasses before he can draw a bead on his targets, but he is still a great American presence, an icon to be reckoned with. The blond, blue-eyed Hill blends the spirit of a devilish boy with an adult's competence in the hard moments of a hard trade. You half expect him to pull a toad out of his holster, and you never quite believe that he can draw thrice in the time it takes ordinary men to draw once. And you shouldn't. For this...

Bluff, blond, big as a bear (6 ft. 1 in., over 200 lbs.), with a reassuring Scandinavian air of wholesomeness, he came across as the ideal public man. He had a family to match. In 1925 he married a widow of Swedish descent, Nina Palmquist Meyers, adopted her son and then sired five children of his own. An inveterate joiner (Masons, Elks, et al.) with a loose, easy "How are yuh, good to see yuh" handshaking style, he was a Republican whose personal constituency crossed party...
...approaching middle age and dwelling on the glum fringes of the lower middle class, recalls a teen-age romance with the ragman's daughter. She was a lustrous girl who came riding down his street on a horse, smiling in soft focus. With glistening white teeth and flowing blond hair, she lacked only a tube of Clairol or smile-brightening toothpaste to make the image complete. Simon Rouse and Patrick O'Connell portray, respectively, the factory worker at adolescence and maturity, and have in common only a kind of grumpy indifference that is supposed to pass for alienation...
